To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM G. KENpALL, a citizen of the United States, and a resldent of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Vanity Case, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in vanity cases, and it pertains more particularly to means for holding. powder, rouge, and similar compacts within the case.

i The subject matter of the present applica' tion is divided from an application filed by me February 20,1922, bearing Serial No.

It is one of the objects of the present inventionto so construct a vanity case that the compacts carried thereby may be renewed from time to time without inany way defacing the vanity case.

It'is a further object of the invention to provide a vanity case having a removable bottom plate together with the provision of novel means whereby the bottom plate automatically locks itself within the case upon its insertion.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a new and useful vanity case in which the interior of the case body is divided into two compartments for the reception of compacts of different character.

lVith these and other objectsin view, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the improved vanity case showing the cover open and a portion of the case proper in sectional view.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

F ig. 3 is a perspective view of'the removable bottom plate.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference character 10 designates thevanity case, and 11 designates the cover thereof. The vanity case 10 is provided with an inwardly bent upper flange portion 12 defining its upper side and at the base of said flange portion there is an inwardly. disposed shoulder 13. This flange 12 and shoulder 13 formed thereby preferably extend around the vanity case- ,The reference character 14L designates a bottom plate, and said bottom plate is bent intermediate its ends, as at 15 and 16, to provide a vertically disposed partition 17. This bottom plate is cut out as indicated by the reference character 18, to provide'upwardly standing resilient tongues 19, and said tongues 19 are adapted to engage the side edges of cosmetic compacts which are designated by the reference character 20 and shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. At each of its ends this plate 14 formed with an upstanding tongue 21, which tongue also serves to maintain the cosmetic compacts in position. Each of these tongues 21 has a cut-out portion 22, which provides a resili-f 23 are adapted to engage thecosmetic compacts as indicated by the referencecharacmetic\ compacts may be removably acarrie d thereto to to time.
